The Nerms

This collection is a bit more low in fidelity than many other recordings
listed in this place, but found amongst the low fidelity is another large
variety in approaches and concepts. The higher fizz content is due to a lot
of the pieces being recorded live with one or two microphones to pick up
sound. A couple things were recorded on a porch and in a back yard, and some
others were recorded in a variety of basements. There are several notable
non-live pieces, such as 'MEAT', (inspired by an episode of Ren & Stimpy, and created for a high school media class project...see video below.) which is a lovely polka song wherein a
fellow strangely preoccupied with meat tells the listener over and over
again with fluctuating emotive inflections in his pseudo-beastly voice what
he is preoccupied with. Kiss Me is a prettiness
doo dad with semi-wordless delay-smothered female voice. 'Autumn true love' is
a venture wherein 4
tracks of a specially-tuned guitar being knocked and scratched upon to
produce an array of pretty string ringing sounds were recorded, which
bubbles out of random pretty droning into a concluding brief rhythmically
shaped softness feeling. 10% wackiness, 40% organic prettiness, 40% crazy
rocky, 10% wacky fun slaps.
